BISMARCK, OAK, March 7.-Miltimore's
Dill, providing for discharging the existing
board of trustees known as the capitol COM
mission and creating board of trustees Of
public property at Bismarck, composed OF
the governor. secretary and auditor of tho
territory, was reported back to-day by the
committee on territorial affairs materially
changed. Mr.. Miltimore's measure pro.
Vlded that all outstanding warrants issued
Dy or under authority Of the capitol COM
mission shall be paid out of the funds re-
celVed from the sale of real estate, or, in
other words, land donated for the site OF
the capitol by the Northern Pacific
railroad and the city of Bismarck. Tho
provision that the capitol commission should
make settlement with the territory waf
wiped out, and they are only obliged ia
make report OF the condition OF affairs. II
is claimed that Alex Hughes president of
the capitol commission, was opposed to tho
commission being obliged to make settle
ment. and used his influence with tho
special committee. composed of Sprague,
Donald, Stewart and Adams. to whom thu
bill was referred, and succeeded in getting
that provision wiped out. Tho
section providing that outstanding
warrants should be paid from
the sale of real estate was knocked out al
the nen of the North want the territory al
large to pay for the capitol. The South.
naturally enough, feels little sore over the
manner in which the capital was yanked
from Yankton to Bismarck, and want the
North to pay the expense incurred, but il
looks now as though the matter would
create fight of no mean proportions. The
North has strongly organized its forces, and
the bill will undoubtedly become law in
| its present form. although there are thoss
| who are confident that it can be headed off.
FOR DAKoTA'S CREDIT.
| Gov. Church has made but few sugges-
tions to the legislature since he took his
seat, but when he has it has been for the
interest OF the people. and to-day he sent a
suggestion to both houses that shows him
to have his eyes open to the welfare of the
treasury and credit of the territory. 1t was
as follows:
In consultation with Mr.. Raymond terrific.
rial treasurer, am advised that bonds rum
ming in the name of the territory will COM
| mand premium of from n to l per cent.
over and above bonds running in the name of
| specific institutions, and would respectfully
request that general law be passed empow-
| ering the issuance of bonds in every instance
in the name of the territory, specifying only
the institutions for which they are issued.
The treasurer would be pleased to meet the
chairmen of the appropriation committees o4
both houses, for the purpose of consulting
them in the matter. Should the council and
house deem 1t advisable
COULDN'T APPROVE IT.
The governor this afternoon sent a mess.
age. to the house stating that he withheld
his approval of house bill 200, an act to re-
peal section IA, of article IL. of the special
and private laws of Dakota, an act incor4
porating the city of Mayville. Traill county,
approved March IS. 1885. The following
reason for Withholding his approval is giveni
| Upon inquiry, l am informed that at the
| time of the passage of the special act of in.
corporation of the city of May1ille, contain.
ing section II, which this bill proposes to re-
peal, the city of Mayville was indebted to the
township in the sum of 81, 800. II this is the
case the repeal of section IA of the Mayviue
charter would leave the township entirely
without remedy as against the city of Mays
vile.
On motion of Mentzer the bill was res
ferred to the judiciary committee.
NEARING THE END
The governor to-day was busy consultins
with members interested in the appropria az
ton bills and sent the bill asking an ap.
preparation for the normal school at Madi.
son back, as the appropriation asked foI
was too large for his approval. A good
round OF business was reeled off to-day. and
the gait that has been struck will be kept
up till the end of the session. Each maa
who is interested in measures before thu
house is pushing matters, as NO bill after
| tomorrow can become a law unless signed
by the governor.
